Philosophical Summary
In Eji Ogbe theology, the head (Ori) is the true seat of power. The physical world — which looks like it is moved by wealth, armies, and chance — is actually governed by the quality of thought and wisdom that people bring to bear. This proverb makes that metaphysical claim explicit and practical.
